Ithaca College

I am recruiting infants for practical lab sessions in my physical therapy (PT) course, Normal Motor Development.

Please consider bringing your infant/child (ages 1 month to 2 ½-3 years) for one or more fun sessions where senior PT students will observe and test (as you allow) different aspects of your child’s development and ask you a few questions about your child’s development.

You may remain with your child at all times and three PT instructors will guide the students during the labs. You child will receive $15 per lab session he/she would participate in. You will be asked to sign a consent form for your child's participation and a W-9 form where you will write your child's Social Security number in order for your child to receive the check.

You may choose to participate in one, two, or all three lab sessions held on the same day for three different groups of students. All the labs are held in the Center for Health Sciences (CHS) room 207. If you require parking, please let me know as we will have a few spaces assigned near the building.

The three 1-hour Infants Group labs will be held on Monday, March 30, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.; 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.; and 3:30-4:30 p.m.

Please arrive 15 minutes before each session, and bring a few toys your child prefers as well as a drink for your child; we will have water bottles.

If you are interested and/or would like more information, please contact me at 607-274-3116 or hlarin@ithaca.edu.

Thank you,
